If Hank woke up in a reality where everything was the same except for the fact propane didn’t sexist and he sold charcoal instead, could he invent propane?

if propane just wasn't exist then why would he need to invent it?

>I'm telling you, Peggy! It was real! It was both clean burning and energy efficient!

If Hank was in the same time he lived in, and propane energy wasn't already a thing. That'd imply that there would be no way for propane to be used.

For a clean burning fuel

he only got into propane because of Buck, if in this universe Buck owns a charcoal business and takes a young Hank under his wing, Hank will love charcoal and not give a rat's ass about propane

But this would be hank of earth-propane and not the hank who lives in earth-charcoal

Propane is a chemical compound you fucking retard you cant invent it

>can't invent chemical compounds

NATURALLY OCCURING CHEMICAL COMPOUND

The basis of the hypothetical thought experiment is that it's not naturally occurring in this alternate world.

How would he react when he discovered propane assuming he was sent to Hank’s world

>Now, now Hank. We don’t have time for one of your crazy dreams. Now get back to work slinging charcoal

Someone patented it so yes

Companies and individuals patent molecules all the time.
There is potentially an unlimited number of potential organic compounds you have companies who have computers dedicated to simulating billions of molecular structures all day every day just so if they find any that have any useful properties they can patent and sell it.

That would mean natural gas & petroleum use and study would be totally different to non-existent. This is a common byproduct, so much so gas appliances were the modern standard for over 60 years. It's possible wood -to- electric progress occurred and combustion engines may be the main use for crude oil, as any refining would siphon up propane.

Maybe nuclear power is the leading world power source and cars run on liquid nitrous. Hank would need a drag race style safety bars as his, and everyone else's, black smoking hellrocket cars experiences instant torque to his job at Buck Strickland's lube shop. At an open company picnic the charcoal grill won't start and a little bit of oil gets it going. The bottle cap it's secured well and Hank notices it pop off when storing it later.

He takes to his garage and discovers propane through separation and refinement of crude oil. He revolutionizes nothing as electric and nuclear power are on the turning point of out-moding the crude oil industry. He lives with a quiet pride that he can grill and taste a pure meat flavor all his own recipe.

Also Bill works at a nuclear plant since the US doesn't have to invade the rest of the world to secure oil rights. He has a wife, a son, and two daughters but is no more intelligent.

Grats OP, you invented the Simpsons.

Not really. It's the same scenerio as pic related.

Kek

But Hank knows everything about propane

Hank knows how to sell propane and how to handle a propane tank safely.
I doubt he understands the actual science and mechanics nneded to create propane.

>I doubt he understands the actual science and mechanics nneded to create propane.
He has dedicated his life to propane. He finds jokes about propane’s chemistry genuinely funny. He has even explained the sources of propane
